3 Why You Should Care Data Centers are key to organizations as it hosts their critical data and applications Avaya s switches are depended on in fortune 500 Avaya switches provide deterministic sub-second network failover from server to network core for maximum resiliency Controlling the Data Center will improve selling to campus and branch offices The combined offering of data and voice can provide customers a total solution from one vendor that can enhance the relationship and keep competitors away 3

4 Ethernet Switch Market Size* Fixed 10GbE switches will represent the majority of port shipments in the Data Center * Source = DellO ro, WW 5yr Ethernet Forecast July 2009 FCoE has a huge potential growth in the coming years Data Center port shipments represent ~25% of overall total Ethernet market According to Gartner, virtualization is #1 in IT trends in 2009 Data Center Market Will be The Growth Engine for 10GbE Switches 4

5 More facts One large data center can consume enough juice to power a small city of 30,000 to 40,000 people. - A major financial newspaper, June 2006 IDC predicts cost to cool and power servers globally will increase from $26Billions to $44Billions in 2010 Most servers run at 10-15% utilization! A server costs $300 to $600 each year in direct energy costs, and another $300 to $600 a year in cooling costs Power company in Boston will write check for $4M if you break ground and move Data Center outside city! In London, Mumbai, Tokyo and New York City, data center operators can't get more power to their sites IT typically represents 30 to 40% of a company s energy consumption ICT contributes to ~2% of Global CO2 emissions which is roughly equivalent to the Aviation Industry and if left unchecked it s growth is unsustainable 5 HVAC Network 12-15% and growing Lighting Loss Servers & Storage 5

10 What Questions Should I Ask? Data Center What are your plans for consolidating and virtualizing Data Center...? Are you looking at combating infrastructure complexity to minimize IT management cost? Are you experiencing performance or availability issues with your business critical applications? Is real estate and power consumption a concern? Do you want to fully utilize switching capacity of HA systems to maximize your investment? Are you experiencing high operational cost? How prepared is your network for the bandwidth & quality demands of modern applications..? 10

11 Who Needs It? Data Center Switches Enterprise and Hosting Data Centers that: Are consolidating and virtualizing Are growing and require scalability Are suffering from poor application availability and/or performance Need best-of-class resilient solution to extend server virtualization (VMware/Hyper-V) to the network Need to simplify managing the network infrastructure Need to support multiple customer environments (hosting) 11

12 SWOT Analysis: ERS 8300 vs. Cisco C4500 Avaya Strengths > Versatile product: deployable in the Core or in the Access > Core Switch Clustering technology for high-availability network solution > Superior Convergence features: PoE, QoS with 8 queues, and Standardsbased auto-discovery (802.1AB) > High performance switching architecture with in-built system redundancy > Innovative Access Control security Avaya Opportunities > 8300 has strong performance, port diversity, & feature-set capabilities > 8300 is outstanding as the Enterpriseclass Access Switch in the large network > 8300 is gaining strength as the Core Switch, & ideal for the medium-sized Enterprise > 8300 provides a compelling solution providing consistent hardware & software in both Core & Access Competitive Weaknesses > 8300 has better pricing > 8300 has better QoS C4500 only supports 4 Queues, and performance is very low (6Gbps per Slot) meaning high over-subscription > 8300 has more consistent Chassis & Module capabilities C4500 has too many options for both, making planning and investment protection difficult > C4500 relies on Spanning Tree Competitive Threats > Brand, Brand, and Brand > Entry-level (low-performance) Supervisor Engine pricing, giving a false impression of good pricing > Superficially high levels of software functionality; but Customers should not by wowed by the fact that premium features are configurable; C4500 leverages IOS, so many features are available but few are required. 12

13 SWOT Analysis: ERS 8600 vs. Cisco C6500 Avaya Strengths > Leverage installed base of more than 50,000 chassis. > Core Switch Clustering technology for high-availability network solution > Simple and cost effective IP VPN solution > A mix of high density and diversity port module options > Flexible 10G RSP network processor for future SW upgrade without network forklift Competitive Weaknesses > 8600 has better pricing > 8600 provides sub-second network failover without price premium > 8600 has lower TCO > 6500 has complex and expensive virtualization options > 6500 lacks investment protection as limited interoperability exists between Sup Engines, daughter cards & linecards Avaya Opportunities > Huge market opportunity (~$6.5B/yr) for modular switches to pursue and leverage our installed base > 8600 supports up to 96 10GbE ports for the high growing 10G market > 8600 offers advanced features & modules that enable us to go after new applications Competitive Threats > Brand, Brand, and Brand > C6500 is a little denser but too expensive > Entry-level (low-performance) Supervisor Engine pricing, giving a false impression of good pricing > C6500 offers a wide range of specialty modules 13
